Book Description

ISBN-10: 0080410022 | ISBN-13: 978-0080410029 | Publication Date: September 1994 | Edition: 3 Sub

This work covers reaction engineering (both chemical and biochemical), together with measurement and process control. In the new edition, the material on chemical reactor design has been re-arranged into four chapters. The first chapter covers general principles, the second, flow characteristics and modelling in reactors. Chapter 3 now includes material on catalytic reactions together with non-catalytic gas-solids reactions and chapter 4 covers other multiphase reactor systems. The chapter on biochemical engineering, has been completely re-written into two sections. The first deals with the nature of reaction processes controlled by micro-organisms and enzymes and is prefaced by background material on the relevant microbiology and biochemistry; and in the second section, the process engineering principles of biochemical reactors are discussed, and emphasis is given to those features which differentiate them from the chemical reactors described previously. A new chapter, "Measurement", describes the various in-line techniques for measurement of the process variables which constitute the essential inputs to the control system of the plant. The chapters on the process control gives an updated treatment of the principles and applications of process control and concludes with a discussion of computer control of process plant.

Editorial Reviews

Review

The student will very much welcome the concise, well worked and easily understood worked examples in this Volume since, as a rule, he has no time at his disposal after study commitments, to work out solutions for exercises that are not too easy.

...Above all, the practising chemist will benefit from the fact that nearly 200 problems involving calculations characteristic of the subject areas and for practical use have been worked out. Credit is due to two long-standing colleagues of the authors of this textbook for working out the solutions.
